Why should you watch “Miracles”?

Come with an open heart and you might be surprised

After a series of releases of questionable quality, films and TV series Marvel Cinematic Universe lost the trust of the public. For every excellent Guardians of the Galaxy Part 3which revives hope for something more sincere, there is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ruin everything. It will take time to restore Marvel’s reputation as synonymous with good storytelling that it had in previous iterations. But don’t let doubt rob you of the joy of seeing Miracles. For those who watch with an open heart, a new film from Captain Marvelthis could be a pleasant surprise.

At first, the film already avoids harsh criticism of the new wave of Marvel Studios productions – lack of connection between stories. Miracles directly confronts the consequences of the character’s actions. Brie Larson V Captain Marvelsince 2019. Not only that, it is also influenced by the events seen in Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision This Ms. Marvel. There are also small references to Thor: Love and Thunder This Secret Invasion.

Not seeing any of these productions, of course, does not make it impossible to understand the plot. At the end of the day, the studio’s films still prioritize creating stories that everyone can see without joining the pyramid scheme that the MCU has become. However, for those who have faithfully followed these adventures, there is a pleasant feeling of completion, that everything is coming together and that the mysteries in store there are finally making sense.

What’s with the bracelet? Kamala Khancharacter Iman Vellani? Why Carol Danvers didn’t come back to take care of Maria Rambo When did she get sick? What has she been doing all this time? Throughout the story, everything is answered satisfactorily, if sometimes a little rushed. And it’s not just the recent structure of MCU projects. Miracles corrects – sequence successful fix problems in the construction of Captain Marvel itself.

In the first film, Brie Larson was heavily criticized for not “smiling enough” in the film. And even though this issue is largely based on misogyny, this twisted idea that women should always smile and do everything nicely, there is some truth to this complaint. It’s not that she didn’t smile enough, but the film, too concerned with creating an image of a powerful woman, didn’t allow her to be more than that.

Female characters are characters first and foremost, and should be just as diverse as Marvel Studios’ male characters. Captain America isn’t always cruel. Star-Lord doesn’t have to be serious all the time to be respected. Even the Hulk isn’t angry all the time, expressing a wide range of emotions. Why then should Captain Marvel be limited to this by the script?

well in Miracles Not she. Without being surrounded by male characters who might question her competence at any sign of weakness, Carol Danvers seems much more comfortable surrounded by the women on her all-female space crew. The character shows a much lighter side to his personality, sometimes playful and much more receptive. Finally, Brie Larson’s charisma has room to shine and captivate the audience, as it always should have.

Another problem with the character is how he was used in Avengers: Endgame, like this super-powerful machine of destruction. The heroine is simply capable of destroying a giant warship without breaking a sweat. With such power, there is no intrigue in his heroic actions. She’s a winning machine, there’s no reason to root for someone like that. However, the road map Miracles manages to create enough threats to make Danvers feel powerless. When you can’t solve a problem with your fist and have to make difficult decisions, how does she react?

Facing a sense of failure, a sense that despite appearances, she is not omnipotent like a goddess, lies at the core of the character’s dilemmas. So the film represents a huge evolution for Carol. Ultimately dehumanized as a cold person with no flaws, the heroine allows herself to feel fear, helplessness and remorse. Very human feelings that bring an interesting emotional charge to the story.

This drama extends to his relationship with Monica Rambeau, who, despite being smaller than I would particularly like to see, brings very real drama to the narrative. It just makes sense that there is a situation between them that needs to be resolved. Rambo hasn’t seen Danvers since he was a child. There are a lot of mixed feelings between them, and Marvel Studios rarely allows themselves to work on them in their films.

And all this without losing sight of the crazy action scenes that a good hero movie needs. In that Nia DaCosta surprises. The director turns his entire horror background into creativity when resolving action scenes. No repetitive strokes, dependence on hitting music or regular hitting from one side to the other.

The film begins with a very funny fight scene in which the three heroines are transported through space-time only to see them fighting in the middle of Kamala’s living room with the Khan family. I promise, seeing Kamala’s mom hitting Kree warriors with furniture is priceless. There’s also an incredible chase scene with space refugee cats that has a bit of a horror aesthetic to it, but it’s just a lot of fun.

Entertainment is the biggest commitment of a film. Miracles he’s not interested in knowing how his plot will affect the larger story, even though it does. And it’s not even about bringing out unusual special appearances and bombastic revelations for the sake of pure water. fan service – despite the fact that too. The main goal of the director and everyone involved in this project is to entertain the audience, and they do it very well. The script has some problems here and there, but the enjoyable atmosphere this adventure creates is never lost.

Perhaps the best example is the planet the trio visit where music is core to their culture: basically Rio de Janeiro during the height of Carnival. And as soon as the group sets foot on the ground, a grand musical number begins, worthy of the best Bollywood films. It’s stupid, it’s funny if you don’t take it too far. Just an unexpected moment of relaxation with great choreography that also gives us an incredible chance to hear Brie Larson sing. Who watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World knows exactly how it swings.

At the end, Miracles It’s just an amazing adventure in space, traveling to different planets and living in the moment with three amazing women. And no one understands this better than Ms. Marvel. I couldn’t stop talking about her because even though she doesn’t have as much screen time as she should, she’s simply the heart of the group. Always excited to live out her dream of fighting alongside her favorite heroine, the girl lives with her emotions, allowing herself to be carried away without any fear – as it should be.

What about rotten tomatoes?

You may be afraid to give the film a chance because you heard that the film’s ratings Rotten Tomatoes they weren’t good. And they really weren’t there, in quotes. I say this because the figure presented on the site is not actually an estimate. It only shows the percentage of specialized critics who gave a good rating. This is not an indicator of the quality of the film. Just a critical consensus that is very divided on this film. And I don’t even need to tell you why this film divides public opinion.

Even though they provide everything that the old films of the early stages of Marvel Studios provided, the old white Americans who dominate criticism on these sites face a lot of resistance to accepting films dominated by minorities. Miracles It doesn’t lose to any of the Thor or Iron Man films, and yet it comes under fire for what those same films did. Possible fatigue with the conventions of the genre could also explain all this resentment. It just seems a little strange that this gastura is present in a film with a female lead, doesn’t it?

KITTENS! REFUGEES! FROM SPACE!

Anyway, if you haven’t watched it yet. Miracles, there is no reason not to give the film a chance and form your own opinion about this tasty story. At worst, you’ll walk away seeing cute space refugee kittens, a great Disney princess song, and some crazy action scenes. What more could you want? Mutants?
